Whitney Gilman Ridge (view)

Greg, Andrei, and Dana (taking photo) prepare to climb the infamous Whitney-Gilman Ridge. Even 30 degree weather couldn't stop us! Amazing views all the way up the only ridge in the northeast. Hugely recommended for anyone visiting NH. Ice and snow gathered on most pitches. It was so cold we had to warm our hands on every move. The last pitch is the crux (a tough overhang with 1500 ft. exposure) - We did it in the dark as the sun quickly descended. Thankfully Andrei (the last one up) had a headlamp. Advice: start early!
